Quilt VII: All Around the World the Same Song
This quilt is literally still "making itself." We'll provide an image as soon as it has "birthed" the maquett. Quilt explores phenonmenon of "anti-black" racism the world over.
Quilt VIII: The Ties that Bind
This quilt explores the intricate connections of oppression faced by black, red and brown peoples as they encounter the police violence and the prison industrial complex. This quilt explores more than just the impact of white supremacy and state violence, but how these histories of oppression have existed between the these groups as well, and must be healed in order for true unity to flourish between red, black and brown peoples.
Quilt IX: All Around the World the Same Song
This quilt is literally still "making itself." We'll provide an image as soon as it has "birthed" the maquett. Quilt explores collision of state violence with black boyhood.
